This event is modeled after the DHS monthly Vendor Outreach Session featuring pre-arranged 15-minute appointments with DHS small business specialists and prime contractors. The purpose of this session is to provide the small business community with a forum to discuss contracting opportunities with representatives from DHS offices and prime contractors located throughout the Northeastern United States. *A list of counselors (and their specific needs) is provided at the bottom of this page. You should read this information carefully and only schedule appointments with those counselors who are looking for vendors with your qualifications and capabilities.* *VOS Format* All requests for appointments are handled via an electronic appointment scheduling system which is available at http://www.dhsvoms.moriassociates.com. Vendors must be registered in this system in order to schedule appointments. It is recommended that you complete a Registrant Profile in this system prior to June 2, 2011. *The automated system will begin accepting requests for appointments at 12:00 noon (Eastern Time) on Thursday, June 2nd. Attempts to request appointments prior to the specified date/time will not be successful. **Be advised that appointments fill very quickly. We regret we are unable to maintain a “wait list”.* Appointments are limited to 15 minutes to allow all vendors an equal opportunity to introduce their company. Appointments start promptly at 9:00 a.m., with the last appointment beginning at 12:45 p.m. (with a 15-minute break halfway through for the counselors). Due to the overwhelming response to DHS's Vendor Outreach Sessions, we regret that we must limit the number of appointments per company to no more than three (3). *Due to space limitations, we request that no more than 2 representatives from each company attend VOS.* *Scheduling Appointments * The Department of Homeland Security uses an electronic scheduling system for vendors to schedule appointments for the DHS Vendor Outreach Sessions.* **Advance registration is required!* To schedule appointments for the Department of Homeland Security’sVendor Outreach Session (VOS) please take the following steps: 1.
